About the Data

Chile Safety Map presents official crime-incidence data from Chile's Centro de Estudios y Análisis del Delito (CEAD) for all 346 communes and 16 regions. Every figure is sourced directly from that government dataset. The canonical metric is therate of reported offences per 100,000 inhabitants, which allows fair comparison between places of very different sizes. All rates are computed from CEAD's annual frequency tables and cover 2005 through 2025. The national mean rate across non-low-population communes for 2025 is 5,808 per 100,000. A higher rate means more reported offences per 100,000 residents — not necessarily that a place is objectively more or less liveable. Under-reporting, floating populations, and crime-family composition all affect the figure; see the Methodology page for full details.

This site never assigns absolute "safe" or "dangerous" labels. It presents CEAD reported-incident data and lets you form your own informed view. Crime statistics reflectreported incidents, not actual crime — property crime is under-reported at rates of 50–70 % in many countries, and location decisions involve far more than a single incidence rate.
